How to Cook Sweet and Sour Pork Balls
- Mix the minced pork with the egg white and water using your hands then add the soy sauces, rice wine, sugar and salt and pepper. Shape into balls about 1" (2.5cm) across and dust with a little corn-flour.
- Peel and very thinly slice the carrots on the diagonal. Cut the green and red peppers into squares about ½" (1cm) across. Finely slice the spring onions on the diagonal. In a pan of boiling water, blanch the carrots and peppers until nearly tender (about 4-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok and fry the pork balls until crisp and golden (3-4 minutes). Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients except the cornflour in a large pan and bring to the boil. Add the carrots, peppers and spring onions. Blend the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water, then stir in the cornflour mixture and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Add the pork balls and warm through. Serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves.

Serve with either Chicken Chow Mein or Chinese Fried Rice
Reviews of Sweet and Sour Pork Balls
![]() This recipe is wonderful. Made it again last night and it was absolutely delicious. I added a tablespoon of ginger puree to the meat mixture this time and it was really excellent. I made a double batch and they were gone before I could blink! Madyson (1 review) |
